A rabbit named Fish. Haha! Well, maybe it's best she's not insane anymore, or else who knows what she would have named the baby! Guess we'll find out next time.
I'm glad you found it amusing.
I definitely agree it's good she's not insane anymore, though she isn't in charge of the baby names anyway.
Wow! I've missed a lot! My unread messages have been piling up and it gets hard to distinguish which are new chapters and which are just comments. Sorry 
Trinity, Comet, Fish? This is much harder than the last time! My guess is Edwin Holmes.
That's ok- the good thing about missing bits is you get to read a load at once, right?
I had to look up who Edwin Holmes was. Unfortunately he's not the answer.
I apologize for increasing the difficulty level this time- I think Fish probably threw everyone, am I right? Never fear, stumped readers- the next chapter is here!
Chapter 24: In which there's a deluge of toddler spam spam spam spam . . .
And so, ?? finally grows up to be a toddler.
Newton ages up with his father's brown hair.
Yes, Newton!
Trinity refers to the college of Cambridge university where he studied. One of his friends at the Royal Society, Edmond Halley, had a
Comet named after him.
Forum: what about Fish?
Ah! Well, a book on the history of
Fish nearly stopped Newton's most important work, the principia mathematica, being published because it meant the royal society didn't have enough cash to get it published. Halley ended up financing the book's publication.
It's summarised rather excellently in
this horrible histories sketch!
I decided to change Newton's hair to his mother's colour. What I did, I did without choice, in the name of peace and sanity. (Mostly my own- brown hair for four generations in a row is crazy.)
Franklin: He likes blue too!
Fish aged up soon afterwards.
It's a shame to lose the floppy ears- maybe we'll regain them with the next generation of dogs. He rather resembles Comet.
Betabee: Looking forward to some food then?
Newton: Yeah, dad's stuff is far far better than granny's green bottle food.
Newton: If you keep pulling, will I grow taller?
Jill: No, I'll just lift you up.
For the sake of household space, I have decided to move out all the dogs except for Fish and Pi so there's room for the next generation. So we say goodbye to Vin, who has reached an impressive 60 days old.
Vin: So I'm off to a retirement home?
Betabee: Essentially, yes.
After a birthday dinner with Pasteur down at the Bistro (for a blackop) it was time for Franklin to have her last birthday.
Franklin: Jill, are you laughing behind my back?
Jill: No, just hiding. And inspecting your new bun more closely.
Betabee: What happened to your past hair?
Franklin: They didn't have an exact match, so I chose something sensible. Practical.
Betabee: I see you've done the same thing with your wardrobe.
Franklin: Indeed. These clothes need to last a few generations, anyhow. I may as well go for something sturdy.
Betabee: Bye bye Comet.
Comet: See you in 75 years or so?
Betabee: I guess. Off you go.
Newton's first museum pieces were completed in good time.
Pet adoption worker: AAAHHHHHHH. . . .
Trinity: And don't take any more dogs for a while, you understand? I'm coming with you to keep an eye on you . . .
Betabee: And so we only have 2 dogs left. This does allow room for new clues to generation 5, yay!
Newton: Don't be shy, Luca. Say hello to the nice forum people.
Luca: Maybe next chapter.
(betabee's sister goes all soppy at this pic)
(betabee's sister asks why betabee is noting down her reactions to pictures)
(betabee tells her sister that it's for comic effect really, and to stop typing in her posts)
Jill: And your granny is a doctor- she works to make people better.
Newton: Is that why she came up with that disgusting formula stuff I had to drink as a baby?
Jill: She doesn't just do that- she fishes as well.
Newton:Could she fish up the loch ness monster?
Jill: Don't be silly- the loch ness monster doesn't exist.
Newton: DO you have proof?
Jill: erm . . .
Newton: First rule of science, mum- question everything!
It's official, the next generation of puppies is on the way. Hopefully, you'll get a few more clues this time around (depending, as always, on household space).
Franklin's museum is finished, and she has all her friends, so it's that time of the dynasty again . . .
Ambrosia time!
Franklin: Could be saltier.
And so we have our second immortal. 1/4 of the way there, folks!
